Abstract
Advanced practice nurses play an integral role in the management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients undergoing pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty. As integral members of the multidisciplinary team, advance practice nurses assist chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients in the presurgical, postsurgical, and procedural settings by ensuring appropriate referral, workup, evaluation, and education.
